Yup, I'm feel'n better...a little

Wow, time flys. Here I was think'n today was Wednesday an' it's freak'n Saturday already. This has been one faaaassst week at Billy Bob's house.

Report back from the stomach clip'n samples autopsy or what ever the hell it's called. Lookie here, I don't have no cancer in them samples.

Now, 'member them pills I was tak'n? The ones that put a coat'n on my innards so's acid don't get to eat up more of my stomach. I ain't took none in almost a week now 'cause I hate constipation an' horseness of breath. LOL....spell'n police gonna find that. You ain't gonna believe how good I feel. I still ain't got no energy though. I'm gonna rekon that the time I was on them pills, there was some heal'n to the old belly. I ain't got the urge to puke or loud ass burps ever time I eat. Ha ha ha, gross gross....my poop is back to normal.
Yes I'm gonna get back on them....just not today.

We talk'n gross stuff here....I'm gonna git them damn hemorrhoids took care of. Ha I said that 10 years ago too. But 10 years ago I didn't know bout rubber bands. That's what they gonna do.

Did my appointment with the back doctor a few days ago. Just a follow up. Due to insurance rules, the radiofrequency ablation can not be done until February. I been do'n pretty good with the stuff they injected in SI, so's I rekon I can live with a couple more months of these low rate pains. Bout a 4 to 6. Ha, much better that 7 or 8 to 16.

In the meantime, I done a little work on the boat project. One side was sanded an' a coat of poly applied. The bottom was sanded an' 3 coats of metallic vintage copper paint was applied. Then the masking tape an' paper was removed. Holy crap, now I got a raised paint edge to repair. Wrong kind of masking tape....grrrrrrr!

I'm think'n it looks pretty dad gum good. Sadie Mae do too.

I emailed Callie Graphics in Magdalena, New Mexico. Sended her pics of the rose an' the image of the name....along with a image of the stuff on the stern of the boat. She says..."no problem". Sometime next week I should receive the decal, along with a couple Chris Craft decals. How bout this....$15 delivered.

Boy howdy, it were some kind of cold last night....right bout 35 degs. More of the same tonight....Brrrrrrr. Then the temps will be back in the 40's at night.....along with some more rain in a few days. This sucks. But, last night I was snug as a bug in a rug. Even sleeped a full 8 hours with only 1 pee. To wake up with a very sore an' painful back. Damn that Number bed.

Since my last posting, that damn cat Leonard has been on a diet at least 14 times. He eat too much an' his big belly shows it. He ain't quite the same size of Sadie Mae, but if'n he keeps eat'n like he does, it won't be long. Ha, Sadie Mae still tell him...."Leonard, I'm gonna beat yer ass if'n you don't git away from me". Poor Leonard wants sooo bad to play cat games.

Glad you are feeling better and better.. slow n steady wins the race! Ya know, I been on those PPI drugs (aciphex) since 2002. Well, I just started weaning off them by taking skipping every third day for a couple weeks.... then every other day now for a few weeks .... because if you go off too abruptly, you get "reflux rebound" a whole bunch of acid at once. I tell ya, my stomach is feeling better and the ummmm "bathroom stuff" is a whole lot better too! So after 13+ years of this drug, I am worried about the long term effects and I will see how I do without it for a while? So far so good!

Hey Karen! (Sorry Billy's bob to hijack your blog). I'm doing the same thing under strict orders from the dr to not just quit but take a lower dose for a month then every other day for a month then every third day etc.

Yup.. because it you quit all at once, you end up with two, three or even four times the stomach acid! The drug is a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) and it shuts off the production of excess acid. When you quit, you pumps all kick in! Nexium, Aciphex, Prilosec etc are PPI drugs. I have had a major reconstructive surgery called a Nissen Fundoplication to limit the amount of acid splashing up into the esophagus, so why am I still on the drug? The first doc put me on it... and said stay on it. the second doc said to carefully wean off it if I want and see how it goes. My bathroom situation is greatly improved too as well as the spasms and pangs on the stomach muscles since I am reducing it. Anxious to get totally off it next month!
